What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The corner of the tailgate on the driver side been rubbing on the bed, then i noticed there’s a slight maybe 1/8 “ height difference on the driver side vs passenger side. Only noticed when i had the softtop and kept trying to figure out a small gap of light shining through on that side and took it in and they said it’s an issue with the hinge. Plus with the tailgate closed i can lift that side and there’s a little play in it

 

Haha. I really don't mind the snow, slush and ice, it's the road salt and sand that really chaps my ass! New truck sits in the parking lot side steps covered in the salt sand combo which they use A LOT of around here. Every spring I haul away hundreds of pounds of sand salt from my road front. Warming up to the 40s this weekend equals a trip to the car wash.

 

Oh, they exist. There's a handful just south of the border that locals here in Winnipeg use to save on shipping and brokerage charges. I've been using Menke's Parcel Service out of Neche, ND for years for larger items (wheels, tires, etc.) or instances where a US vendor can't or won't ship direct to Canada (free shipping within the lower 48, for example).

Unfortunately, BLOWVID-19 has closed the border to non-essential travel, rendering these types of businesses useless until it re-opens. I want a set of the 2020+ OEM LED headlights but shipping them direct to Canada costs $200+ USD. By contrast, shipping them to Menke's is $55 USD. The difference is staggering.

 

So I get the email (3hrs ago) from Meso saying the puddle lights are available again. Immediately go to site after seeing email and marked as sold out. Odds that run is already sold out or the site hasn't been updated yet?

 

I got a set right when they went up. I’m guessing that this drop is really sold out. My order was confirmed at 12:08pm. Previous to going live their status did switch from “Coming Soon” to “Sold Out” so it is possible you were in that window.

 

what brand and size of tire you have?

 

They're pretty solid, but i wouldn't hang from them lol. Maybe up to 10lbs?

 

Did the passenger side and “sealed” it best as possible. Not sure how I forgot I had a box of Noico closed cell foam in the garage so added some in the door.

Guess I’ll have to go back over to the driver side now... it never ends

 

It is a trailer brake controller, mounted where the little coin holder goes near your left knee.

 

Tis the season!

 

Just wait till you do the roof, floor and back.

 

When I was deployed, I wore the internet out looking at Tacoma's. Couldn't wait to get home to buy mine.

 

I looked at way too many tacos that weren’t truck related

 

Yeah; I'm doing the same and ordering stuff like crazy! luckily I have almost unlimited connex space to bring it home in.

 

Great looking rig! What sliders are you rocking there?

 

Tjm sliders. Love them.

 

Traded in my 2018 base SR for a 2021 SR5 with some options.



Two days later I was notified that I needed to quarantine because my new son-law (two weeks) had tested positive for covid.

I decided to keep myself busy.

Removed chin spoiler.

Interior LEDs



OEM Bed LEDs



Radio knobs



MEZO tails and LED plate lights. With the Mezo kit I had rapid blinkers happen. I switched harnesses from left to right and it went back to normal. Not sure how that helped but I read about it on here somewhere.



Diode Dynamics Fogs



Grille replaced. I had to shim the TSS sensor with three or four washers. I started with black TOYOTA letters but then switched to color matching for the truck.




Morimoto LEDS v3 Was going to do low and high beam but one bulb was defective. I am waiting on a replacement from Headlight Revolution. The faulty one was not in a sealed box like the others. Looked like a return that was passed on to me. They had me destroy the faulty one. You can tell from the pic how the stock bulbs are yellow in comparison. I did not have to adjust my head lights at all. The pattern was the same as stock. The fog lights overpowered the halogen low beams.





Black LED sequential mirror indicators

 

Thanks! Do those hilift jack points work well?

 

Haven’t had to use them with the jack points

haven’t had to use jack point so can’t speak to that.
